My recommendation would be to define a custom attribute to take a URL to
emboss, as in:

   <img src="design.png" alt="The bolt goes through the wood beam and is
fastened on the other side by a large nut."
x-huseby-emboss="design-embossed.png">

...and then have your software automatically detect the x-huseby-emboss=""
attribute.

If this proves to be successful, then it would make sense to add it as part of
the core language. We don't want to add it prematurely because otherwise it's
likely to end up abused and polluted the way longdesc="" was.

How does that sound?
